Experience the best of London from both river and road with a one-way journey on a Thames River boat, followed by a day-long open-top bus tour. This combined sightseeing experience offers two iconic perspectives of the city. Your adventure begins with a single journey on a Thames River boat, travelling between any pier in the Central and East Zones, from Battersea Power Station to Barking Riverside. Whether you choose to relax in indoor cabins or prefer the covered outdoor decks, you'll glide past renowned riverside landmarks such as the Battersea Power Station, Westminster, London Eye, Tower Bridge, Canary Wharf, Greenwich and North Greenwich.

The exploration continues on land with an open-top bus tour around London. Valid for the same day, this flexible mode of transport allows you to travel at your own pace across three routes covering London’s most famous attractions, cultural highlights, museums, shopping districts, and transport hubs. With the freedom to hop on and off as often as you like, you can create your own personalised itinerary of London.

This comprehensive city overview is ideal for first-time visitors, families, couples, and solo travellers seeking flexibility and a thorough introduction to the city in just one day.
